Canada's Trish Paulsen was dominant in the tiebreaker against the USA this afternoon.

Here's the USA skip Rebecca Hamilton. The Americans got off to a bad start in the first end, giving up a big three. Working back from 5-0 down, they were looking good in the seventh. But Hamilton's last stone jammed on a Canadian counter, and Paulsen drew for two and an 8-3 lead, which proved decisive.

The others in the Canadian side: Natalie Yanko, Kari Paulsen and Kari Kennedy in a traditional 'bus stop' photo.

The Swedes had Sara McManus playing the last stones.

The Swedish team took command of this one with a three in the seventh for a two shot lead. Two more - it was almost a three - in the ninth, saw Sweden come down the tenth 7-4 in front. It will be Sweden v Canada in the Page 3-4 tomorrow.
